Jenny stepped up and placed a hand on the device bracing herself for whatever is to come next. Though nothing would happen, nothing at all. The material was cold, but no more than abandoned steel would become if left in this same room.
Be it relief or disappointment, Jennys touch had no effect on the device at all.
Jenny felt releaved she had half expected to be burned or blasted with dark magic. Still it had responded to her or her prayer. Looking at the object Jenny spoke at it. "What or who are you?" If that didn't provoke a responce Jenny would try to open herself up to it in teh same manner that she did when she was about to feed but with out actually drawing from the thing." If that didn't work Jenny would focus her thoughts in a positive manner about her friends and family hoping the thing would respond.
Jenny tried all manner of things to get a reaction, but to no avail. It seemed not even her prayers gave a reaction from the mysterious device. Sighing deeply, the girl a tad perhaps frustrated looked it over once more.
Actually she didn't give it much thought before, but the chain holding the thing in place were significantly weather and surprisingly small. Perhaps even enough to be broken with enough force.
Glancing over the statues would reveal similar wear and tear on them aswell, the brilliant marmur had long since lost its splendor. Even with Jennys limited knowledge on the matter it was clear this place was indeed far older than anything she's seen up to now.
Looking at the chains and the door Jenny got a sense of forboading. Riley should have been back by now and she had little time. If she had been caught it would only be a matter of time before someone came snooping. Pulling her blade free once more Jenny wedged it between some links. "Oh Naya please please let this be a good guy...." Heaving with her strength and the leverage the sword provided Jenny tried to snap one of the chains.
The chains would not hold for long, as with a final push the breaking steel echoed out as one of the chains relaxed its grip on the device. Strangely enough this had little to no effect, until a brief moment later. The temperature in the room began to rapidly drop.
Jennys would all too clearly feel dread as she looked to one of the angel statues, the white marmur statue would seemingly begin weeping blood. The other chains began to rattle loudly before falling of the unknown obsidian construct in the middle.
The massive device would begin to swirl madly, increasing more and more before in a flash of blinding white. Pieces of it seemingly scattered all across the room and hanged mid-air, as if suspended in the moment.
Removing her hands from her instinctual cower from the light Jenny would look to where centerpiece used to be. The first thing she saw, were raven black wings.
Freed from its prison, the figure was all too clear to see now. It was definedly male, fully armored in black armor with detailed silver ornaments. The most prominent pieces of the armor, were the shoulders and the face guard. The creatures shoulder-plates were molded into feminine faces, their eyes seemingly blindfolded. The face guard, shinned brilliant as it was no more than a silver porcelain mask, devoid of any major features. The expression of the mask, beared no emotion. Just an empty black gaze and shut mouth. The rest of the creatures head was obscured by a black hood.
Though when Jenny finished her initial scan of the menacing armor, she'd fully note the wings. Two pairs of greater angelic wings, rested behind the fallen one. The entity had a dark aura, usually seen with dark purple energy floating about it, only to leave black smoke-like trails behind it.
Only when the greater being took off the ground to dominately float, would the suspended peaces of its prison fall down with one powerful thud. The silent creature would turn to its armored gauntlet and attempt to grip it a few times, stretching muscles long since exercised.
Dark Secret of the Angels complete:
Jenny gains 10xp
Jenny's efforts where soon rewareded as the object suddenly started to move. Looking about as the air noticably dropped in temperture Jenny noticed the crying statues and paled. Suddenly the prision stopped and shattered in a flash of light. The sudden flash prompted Jenny to duck down into a defensive crouch her Black wings exstending out for additional protection. After a moment as the pieces of the prision began to fall Jenny relaxed her guard only to meet the ominus fallen angel she had freed. "Oh.. shit......"
Moments later the fallen one would turn to face Jenny. The emotionless silver mask. coupled with the dark armor and presence almost freezing up Jenny on the stop. Though for the time being the entity remained silent, allowing Jenny the first word in.
Jenny looked on the figure a growing sense of dread. What had she done... there was no way this thing would help her especially if it was what she thought it was. Nor was their anyway she could correct it now that it had happened. Moving slowly Jenny made for the exit though she doubted she it make it far. "Oh umm hi sorry to bother you... this is not what I was expecting. So Im just going to leave now." 'And just what was I expecting Jenny you twit!' Having a nervious smile Jenny moved cautisiouly to the door.
"On accident." the fallen one spoke up, its voice seemingly carrying a powerful vibration. It was a suprisingly well spoken and calm tone, even if chilling. The entity kept it's gaze on the girl in its prison "You've freed me on accident, haven't you?"
It would continue it's fairly dominant levitation, as if even avoiding to touch the ground beneath.
"Umm yeah sure well go with that." Jenny moved closer to the door she was almost there. Her hand twisted the nob to open it. The nob jingled seemingly far to noisy for the opressive feeling in the room. "I mean I did break the chains and I knew some one or something was being imprsioned but desprate times call for desprate messures right." Feeling the nob turn and the door start to open Jenny started to step out. "So umm good luck!" With that Jenny started to leave in a hurried manner.
Jenny is weakened! Jenny is starting to fell peckish...
Jenny herself had to know things just won't go the way she hoped. Just as Jenny began to explain to what lead to the events just now, her voice would go mute. Soon enough the feel from her legs would go as well as she was lifted up. A chill, only compareable to the reapers in the academy, would wash over her. The girls whole body be it by her will or ignoring her will commands, would shiver in dread as she felt her very essence slowly drift away more and more.
"I suggest you alter your tone, fledgeling." the voice almost metalic echoed across her very being before she was let go, hitting the floor with a particulary ungraceful thud. Her body, quivering from the loss of energy and animalistic fear.
"What are you? Human, angel and demon. You bear all their marks."
Coughing Jenny looked up at the fallen one her face stern. Eventually she calmed herself enough to speak and to not look like a cowering animal before this figure. If this was the end then it would be with dignity. "Im no angel and Im no demon and I cannot say Im fully human anymore, but thats the closest thing." Jenny tried to stand but found herself still weakened from the energy drain. So instead she was resting on the ground her wings covering her form as she looked up her arm supporting most of her weight.
The fallen one looked to the marvel stones around them and then to the door leading out, right next to Jenny "Be it accident or not, your efforts released me. It seems I owe a debt to you now, ask and I may consider it." the cold and almost hollow voice was more than a tad unnerving, but it seemed the entity was not too keen to linger in his prison for any longer than it already has.
Perhaps the creature may be of aid, though would Jenny truly want to ask anything of such a being.
Jenny looked up to the mask sense she had no eyes to meet, and it took ever bit of strength of will she had to do it. Her immidiate responce wanted to be a request to rescue Lina and Grace, and probably Riley too now. Instead she clamed her over emontinal self. "I may need your help in an upcomming battle can I count on your aid?"
The answer was as cold and emotionless as the mask the fallen one donned "No." the entity moved its gaze up lightly "It seems your friends have arrived. Or are they your enemy, these holy men."
"I will not involve myself in conflict I have no stake in. Just who and why are you fighting, fledgeling?" even if it was keen to leave, the fallen one was in no rush. Perhaps it was still collecting itself, post-awakening.
Jenny looked to the stairs and cursed her luck. If they where comming then they had caught Riley. "They are not my friends but if they see you they will be my enemies. Inquisitors...." Jenny let out a frustrated sigh. Undoubtly they will not take kindly to her being here. "Well you better go if your going. If you stay here they will surely try to kill you." Jenny shrank her wings back to appear as a normal human. "The battle Im talking about is with demons not the inquisitors but they hold no love for anything corrupted." Jenny looked to the fallen one and back up the stairs. "Ill go slow them down I have no intrests in having their blood spilled." What Jenny kept to herself was her fate for even being here was probably sealed though her eyes probably said it all.
The silver mask looked to Jenny briefly before a cold chuckle escaped the fallen one "What a strange creature you are." before Jenny even knew it the door would blast open right next to her and fly off slamming into the wall with enough force to make the whole building creak.
"Then that will be your reward. Do not worry about these demons anymore." with those words, the fallen angel flapped its greater wings once, before floating forward and out of the room.
Whatever Jenny said would be likely be ignored and if the girl tried to stop the entity she'd either be pushed away personally or with a gust from the wings. Outside of the room the angel spread its magnificent wings and with a powerful gust flew up, breaking right through the ceiling and up!
The angels exit would make the whole building churn and ache, as the sounds of wood snapping and creaking filled the air! The house would collapse soon!
Escaping via the backdoor forces a light risk roll. Substantial damage will be done if failed.
Escaping through the front door or windows, leaves Jenny on the street and in plain view
Sheilding her face from the sudden gust Jenny was left alone... in a collapseing building. "Shit!" Looking about Jenny ran for an exit prefering not to be seen by the inquistors. Spotting her exit Jenny ran for it hoping her lith form and speed where enough for the task.
Running upstairs a quick glance at the possible exits left only the small hole at bottom of the back door Jenny used to enter and a gaping hole where the front door used to be... still it was a safe call that the hole her 'friend' left would draw all the inquisitors there. Not to mention Jenny could see the silhouette of the fallen angel still there.
Jenny choose the entrance she used to get inside in the first place - the back entrance. Sir who had done his absolute best to stay out of sight, maybe be mistaken for a fancy pot or the like shared the similar need to get the heck out the building! Going first, the tiny construct charged at the boarded up back door trying to bring it down, only to rebound off it like a plain stone. Gathering himself right back up.
Jenny was about to go into a speedy crawl, only a for loud crash and a streak of white to catch her eye. Turning left, she'd find out where the white had come from. Mickey had been knocked into the building slammed into a nearby wall! Judging from the blood on his white robe and his demeanor the younger inquisitor was unconscious!
The rumbling of the crumbling building had overwhelmed all sound, so what was going on outside was anyones guess. But Mickey here likely tried his luck against the angel, ending up like he is now.
Hardly anyone easily recoups from a building coming down upon them, perhaps Jenny could lose one of the inquisitors this way! Then again he was near the back-entrance. Though dragging him out would put Jenny at an even greater risk to go down right alongside him!
Jenny rushes - Risk roll, if failed Jenny is dealt 1d8 roll
Jenny drags Mickey out - 2 Risk rolls, if either is failed Jenny is dealt 2d8 damage
It was tempting far to tempting. So tempting in fact Jenny almost caved in till she scolded herself. Grabbing the uncousious inquisitor Jenny began to haul him out. "Idiot! Why I would risk my life for such a fool makes me wonder." Well needless to say Jenny was right about one thing the inqusitors would attack the fallen one and likely get themselves killed.
